Hi Simmers,
I was wondering what are your favorite packs from the Sims 4 and what packs do you regret purchasing? If any, I'd like to know. I would start with my favorite packs are Discover University, Island Living, City Living, Seasons, Parenthood, Movie Night, Toddler Stuff, & Laundry Day. A few other packs I like certain things about them. The only packs I regret purchasing are Realm of Magic and Strangerville. Also, Moschino is also one I didn't care to purchase, but the only thing about that pack I like is the freelance fashion photographer and the studio session.

I don't really regret purchasing any of the packs I own as I feel they have all added something to my gameplay. My least favourites though are probably Get Famous, Journey to Batuu, Strangerville, and Moschino Stuff. I have less interest in those themes and therefore do not play them as often.
regret purchase are realm of magic, the gameplay was so lackluster i was really hoping for more with spellcasters and i felt it was a good opportunity to include playable fairies. there is also eco living, and thats only because the gameplay aspect only exists in that world, i was hoping if i lived in say willowcreek if we went green there we'd get the rainbows and stuff, and i was hoping city living had the industrial fog but sadly they do not.
Least favorite: Strangerville (not a fan of story based pack style, has limited replay value and I don't use its content much across saves), Vampires (I'm just not into occults at all, although I do like the BB items), Realm of Magic for the same reason as Vampires.
Then there is the unmentionable pack and the only one I have no intention of ever purchasing or even adding to my game if they were giving it away for free... JTB
I regret buying Eco Lifestyle and I don't like Dream Home Decorator but I bought it only for the build & buy items.
My favourites are:
City Living: I love the apartments, the premade families, and the festivals.
Discover University: The setting is stunning and I like sending my Sims for walks around the campus. I also enjoy doing the degrees.
Dine Out: Eating out is one if my favourite activities in the Sims and I like to have atleast one restaurant in each world. My game wouldn't be the same without it!
Laundry Day: I don't often use the laundry feature, but I adore the Build/Buy and use at least one piece in every build.
And the vampire on. We need a Vlad visitation opt out.
You can disallow vampires in the "no trespassing" settings on the front door.
(And, sorry to be off-topic, but I really like your username).
My least favorite are Seasons, Dine Out, Journey to Batuu, and Dream Home Decorator. I don’t regret buying them, but I really dislike weather in my game, and the second two are fairly useless. I haven’t bought Dream Home Decorator, but I probably will when I can get it for a cheap price.
Honestly I like the various family play packs since I do like playing happier families that do different things, it's just fun. I like the hobbies such as knitting and bowling. (I think the Bowling Night pack was underrated). Cats & Dogs, Seasons, Parenthood, etc, get a lot of play from me. I also like the acting career in Get Famous and replay it a lot. Even though I'd like a bigger Del Sol Valley, the community area is gorgeous. I re-did the house that didn't have toilets, I actually thought it was kind of funny like it was owned by a quirky owner.
More recently I have started creating specific sims other than my ongoing group and the pre-mades so that I have certain characters who are kind of based on the packs themselves. I have had a lot of fun with those.
I really don't like bugs that need to be addressed but I have seen a lot of improvements in the game. Most recently I have noticed sims autonomously performing for crowds at microphones which is fun and makes those spaces more interesting.
I don't really regret any. There are a few packs that I only picked up on sale after waiting a while but I have tended to play with almost anything. JtB is not my style and I really only got it very discounted but I think it is fun, I am just not that into the theme or highly directed play but I wouldn't get anything that I wouldn't use. Other than any bugs, I think the more recent packs are better than the early ones and I really like the travel-based packs.
Snowy Escape, Jungle Adventure, CoL, StrangerVille, Island Living - the world is so beautiful that I do replay it and think it is great. I like all of these. My sims like to travel and since I rotate, I change things up a lot but I make sure I am having fun. I think the biggest thing is to get a game going that you like and then add to it. If I weren't having fun, I wouldn't play it.
My playstyle is a mix of multi-generational. I do play with YAs and adults a lot. Sometimes I do family play but I change it up and might play a family with a lot of kids then play a carefree adult.
There are aspects of the other packs that I really love and just could not see with doing without once they were added. At the moment Country Living is gearing up to be my favorite. I really love everything about this pack, everything.
In my advanced years LOL I have learned not to have regrets it can cause wrinkles.
Pets & Seasons were kind of neck and neck previously but this pack really has upped my game for me. And I find every pack contributes something. Well I am missing the Designer one but I'm sure it will go on sale soon. Or I will get a another survey under my belt so I can purchase. Happy Simming!

Get to Work would be my least favorite.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Least favourite : get Famous, cats and dogs, spa day
Regret: get famous. I only use bb and cas. The other least favourites have added some gameplay I use, but for get famous I haven't used any of it's features or the world.
Cottage living might end up with the favourites, it is a bit too early to tell.
My favorite packs are Seasons (seasons, new activities) , City Living (apartments), get together (clubs, Windenburg), Island living (aesthetics, off the grid, the world) and cottage living (animals, aesthetics), Vampires, Parenthood, Laundry day, tiny living
But I generally love everything that I have

My least favourite is Batuu hands down. I kinda regretted buying Home Decorator because I actually never use the furniture in it, it's just not my style, too boring and bland looking.
Simmin' since 2000
Regret - Dust kit, Luxury Party. I wish I could return them
All the packs I have are great but Seasons is my most favourite. University is the second one and Snowy Escape is the third. Those are the packs I have. But one pack that I don't have and I think I'm going to enjoy as much as the ones I have is Cats & Dogs. It seems really good.
But I usually list Get Together (because of super-useful club system) and Snowy Escape (because Japan, skiing and rock-climbing are so close to my heart) as my top loved packs.
I don't regret buying any packs (I only buy the ones I want, and I do a lot of research first), but if I had to let one go it would probably be either Parenthood or Discover University. I don't really like gameplay features that involve a lot of repetitive grinding on a fixed schedule that you have to manage every day (like university classes and assignments) or annoying random things that interrupt my own story narrative (like the child and teen "phases" in Parenthood). Of all the packs, I think I use the central features of these two the least. So I guess those are my least favorite, even though I use other aspects of them a lot (CAS, build objects, world, other activities etc.), and I definitely don't regret buying them.
I just need a proper bowling place to put in my world and I do use a lot of items that came with the other packs.
Too many to list for favorite packs. All the packs for children/toddlers. Parenthood, City Living, Get Famous, Get to Work, Pets, Get Together, Seasons, Dine Out, all the kits, Batuu, laundry, Luxury and others.
